Remedy:
  • Restart the operation or sequence.
E A33A
Reference point is not defined (ref_ok=0)
Cause:
No homing done and no motor with absolute encoder connected. Homing position lost because the working position range was left.

How to Read LXM05 “E” Codes

The Lexium 05 diagnostics are structured into error classes. Understanding the first digit helps identify the source of the problem immediately.

  • E 1xx (Power Stage): Faults starting with ‘1’ (e.g., E 100, E 101) indicate issues with the power supply, short circuits, or ground faults.
  • E 2xx (Motor/Encoder): Faults starting with ‘2’ (e.g., E 205) relate to the motor connection, Hyperface encoder feedback, or thermal overload.
  • E 3xx & E 4xx (Communication/Data): These relate to fieldbus errors (CANopen, Profibus) or internal memory corruption.
  • Software: While the legacy PowerSuite software is discontinued, you can often view the error history using the integrated HMI keypad by navigating to the FLt (Fault) menu.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What does “E 205” (Encoder Error) mean?

A: This is the most common fault on aging LXM05 systems.
Meaning: The drive has lost communication with the motor’s SinCos (Hyperface) encoder.
Fix:
1. Check the encoder cable (green cable usually) for breaks, especially in cable chains.
2. Clean the contacts on the DB15 connector.
3. Verify the encoder has not been mechanically decoupled from the motor shaft.

Q: How do I reset the LXM05?

A:
1. Fault Reset Input: Toggle the digital input configured as “Fault Reset” (typically DI 0 or DI 1).
2. Power Cycle: Turn off the 24V control power and the mains power. Wait for the display to turn off completely before restarting.
3. HMI: If the drive is in “Local Mode,” press the reset button on the integrated display.

Q: The drive shows “E 101” (Short Circuit). Can I fix this?

A: E 101 indicates a hard short circuit at the motor output.
Action: Disconnect the motor cable from the drive. Reset the drive.
1. If E 101 returns without the motor connected, the internal IGBT bridge is blown, and the drive must be replaced.
2. If E 101 clears, the short is in your motor cable or motor windings.
